Farmington Central Elementary

🌟 Hello, Farmers! 🌟

We wanted to take time to remind families that we have discontinued the use of Parent Square in the Elementary. Similar to the rest of the district, we have transitioned to using Rooms on the Farmington Central App for FCES announcements & classroom teacher communication. 📲✨ Have you checked it out yet? #FCES #FarmingtonCentral #StayConnected

🎗️ FCES Childhood Cancer Awareness Week! 🎗️

Next week, FCES will have it's annual "Change to Bring Change" fundraiser. Each morning students can bring in change to place in a large donation jug. Our goal is to fill this jug so we can send it as a donation to the Midwest St. Jude Affiliate/Heller Center for Kids with Cancer in Peoria. Last year, we raised our highest amount yet!

In addition, we will have a Childhood Cancer Awareness Spirit Week to show our support for our fellow Farmers!

NOTICE: Bus route #1 is running late this morning. Thank you for your patience.

✨📸Picture Day is tomorrow! Make sure our Farmers remember to bring their SMILES ! 😁

Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

🌟FCES is off to a GREAT start! Our school year has kicked off fabulously with all our Farmers back in the building! 🚀 We want to remind everyone about our arrival and dismissal procedures, designed with support from our wonderful PTO to keep things safe and orderly.

🙏 We appreciate your patience during these busy first days! If your child is a car rider, please have your PikMyKid Car Tag Number ready or check in on the app. Thank you for your cooperation, FARMERS!
